Remote Printing Problems
I'm having problems with my remote printing and am looking for some more help. I have got it setup where I can print xemacs, tkrat, command line, etc. However, if I try to print from Netscape or Star Office, nothing ever prints. I've checked logs on my little print server, and don't see anything special. On my main machine that I use, I do have xsftt running. That is the only thing I can figure out might be the problem. If it is, how can I get it running for X on a remote machine? Any other ideas would be appreciated. TIA, chris P.S. The remote machine is a Cyrix 486Dx4 100 with 24 megs and ~400megs hd. It is slow enough as it is, so I don't want to overly burden it down if possible. It's already the print server (except as noted), and dial out server/firewall/ipmasq machine.

You need a filter (read the printing howto for more information). Install magicfilter, and run it.

remote printing problems
I work at a public hospital in Portugal. The hospital has a LAN of almost 300 personal computers. The vertical distribution is made through a FDDI ring and the horizontal distribution is made through Ethernet. You have a Novell Netware 4.11 server with a software installed called Unix to Netware Print Services and its function is mainly as a print server. Recently I got a system with Debian Linux 2.0.34 and I was trying to define a remote printer. I edited the /etc/printcap file and put the following lines: info_dj01|rlp|Remote printer entry :rm=Netware :rp=info_dj01 :sd=/var/spool/lpd/remote :mx#0 :sh When I print the file /etc/hosts with the command lp d info_dj01 /etc/hosts I receive the following error: info_dj01: Link_send: PROTOCOL ERROR - pending input from ´Netware´ after ACK received. Question: How can I eliminate this error ? Although the file is printed in my HP Deskjet printer, it seems that is missing a carriage return and my printed file looks like this: 127.0.0.1 localhost 10.70.108.250hph_linux. Question: How can I get my file printed correctly in my deskjet printer ? I got a banner for every file I print. I try to use the command lp d info_dj01 o nobanner /etc/hosts, and the result is only a form feed, a white sheet of paper, with no banner and no file. Question: How can I eliminate the banner ?
